Yes, actually there is. They're called zedonks or zebrassed though (there are also zorses- a zebra horse cross). Here's a web link if you want info or pics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeedonk. I think zedonks and zorses were developed not just for their looks but because zebras can't be ridden as well as horses (and donkeys I guess).

A zeedonk (also spelled zedonk) (also known a zebrass, zebronkey, zonkey, zebadonk, zenkey or deebra) is an interspecies cross between a zebra and a donkey. The generic name for crosses between zebras and horses or asses is zebroid or zebra mule. Donkeys are closely related to zebras and both animals belong to the horse family. Zeedonks are very rare.
In South Africa they are called zonkeys and are fairly common where zebras and donkeys are found in proximity to each other. Like mules, however, they cannot usually breed, due to an odd number of chromosomes disrupting meiosis. However, in The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin reported a case of a zeedonk that apparently bred with a bay mare to produce a "triple hybrid."
Usually a zebra stallion is paired with a horse mare or *** mare, but in 2005, a Burchell's Zebra named Allison produced a zebrass called Alex sired by a donkey at Highland plantation in St. Thomas Parish, Barbados. Alex, born April 21st 2005, is apparently the first zeedonk in Barbados.

Cross Breeding. Donkey jacks can be bred to horse mares and the resulting offspring is a mule. Donkeys can also be crossed with zebras.
but I can not locate the name

Yes. They are usually called Zedonks, though.
